I love reading by color! It always leads to a variety of books that I probably wouldn't put together on my own.
Bev at My Reader's Block is a fine challenge hostess, providing enough structure for comfort without any fluff. It's the best of both worlds! Here's the sign-up link and you can join anytime during 2025.

Hi Jane. It's good to see you blogging once again and look forward to your posts. I miss your challenges very much esp the Dread and Read challenge which made me finish some books which otherwise I wouldn't have. Wishing you a very happy 2025.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2025, Neeru! So nice to hear from you, and I hope you and your family are well! My intention this year is to get back in the blogging habit and maybe do a challenge in the second half of the year. Would 6 months of Dread and Read be interesting for you?
DeleteOh it would be great, Jane. However, do see whether you are comfortable hosting once again. If you want to start next year that is also fine.
